Movie Reviews of Pornografia
Movie Review: extremely slow and extremely beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
You never know what to expect from a foreign film. Most of "Made in USA" flicks are quite predictable. Here you'd expect that at least the name of it will give you some idea what it is all about. Not so.
There are practically no sex, no nudity at all, and definitely no pornography in this movie. It is extremely slow and extremely beautiful. Have a drink and some quality slow food with it (not popcorn or chips - say, frozen raspberries and very bitter chocolate). It is mesmerizing watching all these sounds and visions of Polish countryside, Polish old farts drinking and smoking and talking (not much) and drinking again. There are some beautiful young bodies but they are clean and decent and underexposed and made more desirable this way. Somewhere after long watching I got bored of meditation and lost interest and as soon as it happened - the show came to a fast and (literally) bloody end.
They have a holocaust parallel theme but it is not "into your face" so it is wouldn't overkill as many films do with it now.
Take your time and try to watch it in one piece (remember, it is more than 2 hours).
Summary of Pornografia
Two Warsaw intellectuals wait out World War II on a remote farm philosophizing about the need to corrupt youth. The middle-aged anti-heroes explore their twisted dreams and scheme to control the lives of a farmhand and a farmer's beautiful young daughter as German soldiers fight the Polish resistance just steps away. Beautiful cinematography and strong engaging performances make this film a mysterious and dark Polish classic.
